The Stump is typical
of Waldo Sexton'spersonal style of landscapearchitecture. So intrigued
was he by this huge phenomenon of cypress, he had it carted laboriously across the state
to grace the entrance of McKee Jungle Gardens. Though hidden now by Strangler Fig and
other Ficus, The Stump, once a U.S.1 Landmark, will again emerge in the new plan
as a symbol of Welcome to Vero Beach.
